HUGE WIN! HUGE WIN! Milan are back at the top of the standings thanks to the super-sub performance of Christian Pulisic, who came on and bagged a brace for the Rossoneri. The second half was also much better than the first overall, so that was encouraging to see.
Five minutes added on.
Pulisic gets his hat-trick but the flag is correctly up for offside on Nkunku.
On: Estupinan.
Off: Saelemaekers.
Torino now pushing for an equaliser, with Milan a little more happy to sit back and defend.
WHAT A MAN YOU ARE! Ricci finds Pulisic inside the box and with his left foot, yet again, the No.11 finds the back of the net. Milan are in the lead!
Torino 2-3 Milan
Torino denied a goal by a foul on Saelemaekers, the referee first let the play go on by then blew his whistle.
The ball lands at Captain America’s feet in the box and he makes no mistakes with the finish, 2-2! Saelemaekers with the assist, it should be noted, having just moved over to the left flank.
Torino 2-2 AC Milan
On: Pulisic.
Off: Bartesaghi.
Great chance for Milan to level the game! Rabiot finds Bartesaghi inside the box, who forces a great save out of the goalkeeper, and the rebound is then nearly converted by Ricci.
Nkunku backheels it towards goal after a great run by RLC, but the effort is saved by the keeper.
A much better performance will be needed in the second half, but truth be told, it’s very difficult to imagine a comeback for Milan. Pulisic is still on the bench too.
😐 Not the first half we were hoping for, with two goals conceded and an injury for Leao

Not the first half we were hoping for. Torino got two goals very quickly and Milan need an absolute worldie to get back into the game. They are still struggling with creating chances and with Leao out injured, that could remain an issue in the second half.
Four minutes added on.
Rabiot fires just wide! That was a nice pass by Saelemaekers and almost a lovely volley finish by the Frenchman.
A lot of possession for Milan, as usual, but they are struggling to create meaningful chances beyond corners and the odd free-kick here and there.
On: Ricci
Off: Leao.
Leao is injured and most definitely won’t be able to continue. He just stopped immediately there, looks like a groin injury of some sort.
⚽️ WHAT A GOAL ADRIEN RABIOT! 🚀

A goal from Rabiot was exactly what Allegri called for after the defeat to Lazio, given just how prolific the Frenchman can be.
OH MY WORD! That is some strike from Rabiot, who beats the goalkeeper from distance to bring Milan back into the game. Just what they needed, especially since they hadn’t really created a chance before that.
Torino 2-1 Milan
For what it’s worth, that wasn’t a foul on Nkunku. He went down way too easily, so the right decision was made.
Milan are really upset with the goal as they believe it should have been a free-kick for Nkunku, a yellow card for Maignan due to protesting.
let’s see..
ohh he’s the bench warmer this game. noo.. hope him come on and play. needs him to put up the show haha
Not a single Italian player in the Torino starting lineup.
Well, of course. Never a dull moment.
We are not built for a comeback. It will be interesting to see how long Nkunku lasts now with Pulisic on the bench
Embarrassing
KunKuu!! hahah he dives like a pig on the ground !! hahaha
Torino haven’t won in their last 5 matches but against Milan and under 20mins it’s 2-0
RLC is so bad
I said this a couple
Of days ago. Without fofana this teams middle field cannot tick or defend
Holy shot rabiot
We are kings of stupid penalties 🤣 Cmon, time to beat Torino.
you Can Not start modric every game or come up as sub. don’t beat the horse, the horse won enough. drop him
Now Leão’s hurt
Bruh Leao now injured. We’ll never get Pulisic and Leao top 2
when salad has time to pick a pass…
Nkunku is straight buns
Milan still has the low IQ issue when attacking. Dunno what to do with the ball and attacking movement in the final third.
Nkunku looks like he has zero confidence. He is providing absolutely NOTHING. I don’t care what state Pulisic is on, start him in the second half or we lose this game.
Actually worrying situation that Milan is experiencing with its attacker. Not able
To
Keep anyone not injured, Gimenez and Nkunku providing nothing. Constantly having to rely on magic from puli or a random mid field or defender. We are gonna start dropping points unless we figure out new attacking options
Nkunku has always have Milan play with a player less. Nothing defensively and not contributing absolutely nothing in attack or build up play.
No shout on target no passes just jogging around the field like old Rafa
diving and repealing to referee is the new attacking option and strat lol
No idea at all why Bartesaghi is coming off for Pulisic I stead of Nkunku
Though why Pulisic is on is unquestionable
Pulisic is life
It’s time to see Jashari. Need fresh legs for RLC or Modric.
My man Ricci with his trademark backwards pass for Puli🔥
good, ricci. from the pass
I’ll take the roasting – Ricci is better -on the whole – than Fofana for us.
In my opinion Fofana may disrupt more and win more balls, but Ricci does way more with the balls he wins
No roasting, you are entitled to your opinion. Allegri has Ricci seemingly at the bottom of the pecking order. Otherwise I think he would have started him tonight in place of RLC?
Pulisic Pulisic Pulisic!
This team isn’t one for those with a heart condition.
It wasn’t pretty to start with, but we had a spectacular comeback.
Hopefully our defense reseals itself. Ricci is coming up real good. A win is a win.
Whew! stressful game to watch! Another vital 3pts though. Sassuolo @ home up next!
Undefeated in 13 and top of the table!
